We have an out-of-this-world update today!

Let's begin at the Walt Disney World® Resort, where we are getting closer and closer to Star Wars™ Weekends 2011. This may be the best year yet, due to the opening of the new Star Tours® The Adventures Continue Attraction. Keeping with the theme, the individual limited edition pin collection features the galactic passports of many characters from the Star Wars™ universe. These pins feature a slider element which allow the cover of the passport to be moved to the side and rotated to reveal the photograph of a Star Wars™ character. As an example, here is the Princess Leia pin:

These pins are also featured in the collectors set with an additional C3PO completer pin, as well as a framed set which includes a Star Tours® completer pin.

There will also be a boxed set featuring the many destinations of the Star Tours® The Adventures Continue Attraction:

And finally, we have a Passholder exclusive pin featuring Darth Maul, and a Disney Vacation Club member exclusive pin feature C3PO and R2D2. For a complete look at all the pins at this event, please visit the Star Warsâ„¢ Weekends 2011 page.

For our pin collectors at Disneyland® Resort, we have posted the auction catalog for Sci-Fi Academy. To view the catalog you can click here, or visit the Sci-Fi Academy page.
